The quantity of matter in an object is the object's?
The quantity of matter in an object is called mass.
How does the weight of a magnet affect its strength?
Magnetism is the number of magnetic moments per unit of volume. It is the volume of the magnet which determines the magnetism. If an object has great weight and great volume, it will be a strong magnet. If an object has great weight but lesser volume, the magnetism will be weaker.
How do you find the volume of an object bigger than the graduated cylinder?
You can find the volume of an object bigger than the graduated cylinder by using the displacement method using a beaker. The object also can be measured with a rules length, width, and height.
Why does changing the shape of the object have no effect on the density of that object?
It does not matter because the density only matters on the mass and volume.
What is the name of the method used to find the volume of a regular object?
Mass
How does the word displacement apply to indirect measurement of volume?
Volume is difficult to calculate mathematically in a complex shape. Immersing an object in a liquid pushes out a volume of that liquid equal to the volume of the object. The result is called displacement because the solid displaces the liquid.
How do you find the volume of a sinking object?
You can't. All you can tell is that it's more dense than the fluid in which it's sinking.
WHY do heavier odjects sink on water?
An objects weight has nothing to do with sinking or floating (ships are very heavy).If an object is less dense than the equivalent volume of water, it will float.If an object is more dense than the equivalent volume of water, it will sink.If an object is exactly as dense as the equivalent volume of water (at its displacement depth), it will exist in perfect equilibrium, neither sinking nor floating.
Is the amount of space inside of an object?
This is called the volume of the object, the enclosed three-dimensional space.
Principles which helps a ship float?
Archimedes' principles: -- An object in a fluid experiences an upward force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid. -- A sinking object displaces its volume. -- A floating object displaces its weight.
The quantity of matter in an object is the object's?
The quantity of matter in an object is called mass.
Anything that has mass and volume is called?
Matter is defined as anything that has mass and volume. Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Volume is the amount of space an object takes up.
What is true about the mass and volume of all sinking object?
If an object sinks in water, then its mass is greater than the mass of the volume of water that the object displaces. (That could be equal to or greater than the object's actual volume ... a drinking glass displaces more water than the volume of glass in it until the water washes over its rim. A canoe, a bass-boat, and a ship are designed to displace more water than their actual volume.)
What is the amount of space and object?
The amount of space occupied by an object is called its VOLUME.
The size of an object in 3D space is called?
The volume.
How much an object can hold is called?
the answer is volume of course!
What is it called if a object has a definite volume but there is no shape?
liquid.
